they met five times, john mccain's office and chuck schumer's office. and they came up with what ended up as a pretty comprehensive bipartisan proposaproposal. there are some things left on the table but they got comfortable enough so that i'm told chuck schumer called the president yesterday and said we have this. we're going to unveil it and we're going to do it tomorrow, meaning this afternoon. now, there are some things that they still have to work out. some very, very sticky things, carol, like how you actually define border security and a secure border. and how you define that path to citizenship. for example, marco rubio says that he does not want attorney crease the number of green cards for what would be 11 million new people here who would be eligible for those and democrats say that they do want to do that. those are some examples of pretty deep differences but by and large this is the most comprehensive bipartisan agreement that we've seen in years and years. >> all right. dana bash reporting live from washington. and president obama will un

john mccain four years ago only got 31%. if you look at george bush, he received, i think 40%, even though immigration wasn't really on the agenda. it shows that it is somewhat condescending that hispanics are single voters about immigration just because they are immigration. most hispanics like most americans are focused on what leaders going to do for them and the economy and securing their streets and securing their place in the world. that shows in the exit polls, hispanic voters are not single- issue voters. as a republican party we can probably do better by being more welcoming in our rhetoric at times and there is a lot of policies that recognize that we are, not just a nation of immigrants, but a nation of laws. expediting illegal immigration. i have an interpreter the from afghanistan who tries to get a visa but he fails to get a visa because there is not enough visas. he could come here easily likely but he wants to do the right thing to be a productive citizen. same thing with immigrants that are already here. if
